Start DisplayLink before Login (lightdm)

I have the same problem (Linux Mint 21.3, aka Ubuntu 22.04). I also tried moving display-manager.service up in the hope that the displaylink-driver.service would be started way before the login screen but no success.

I did notice that this behavior differed from dock to dock. It only happened on my WavLink WL-UG69PD8 Pro docking station. On the Dell UD22 docking station, at least 2 out of 4 monitors can be rendered BEFORE the login screen.

------ update ------
Same behavior on MacOS.
Basically just don't restart your computer until absolutely necessary. Sleep or suspend are fine. Displaylink driver has no problem waking up.
